I have a week to go. What can I do between now and then to improve my score?

Clearly content review is basically said and done at this point, although as I review FLs and take a couple more I might brush up a little extra here and there.

My limiting factor thus far on my FLs has not been content mastery, but TIMING, especially on PS. Is the best remedy for this just to take more FLs?

So far (PS, VR, BS, COMP):

AAMC 7: 9, 11, 12, 32
AAMC 8: 10, 10, 11, 31
AAMC 3: 10, 11, 13, 34
AAMC 4: 10, 10, 11, 31
AAMC 5: 9, 11, 12, 32

I plan to take 9 tomorrow (Sat), 10 on Monday, and 11 on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Is there anything I can do in a week's time to give myself a realistic shot at a 35?

Also, thus far on the writing samples I've just been brainstorming for 5-10 minutes, jotting down a rough outline of what I would write and then skipping it. Should I be doing more for practice?
 
Enjoy doing some hobbies, so that you can relax and not be too stressed out. Practice waking up early if your exam is in the morning. If you have a girlfriend (or not for some of you..), have sex.
 
I plan to do at least one AAMC full-length during the last week, I'll review physics concepts/equations (I'm most worried about physics), and I'll do some writing section practice. I'll definitely be taking a day off the day before.
